This drawing shows a large, quiet building with a tall tower and a clock. In front of it, a few people walk or stand near a fence, dressed in old-fashioned clothes. Trees frame the left side, and the sky is pale and soft. The building looks like a hospital or a big school—simple but grand. Notice how the artist used light shading to show depth, especially on the walls and trees. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next to see how artists build shadows with lines.
